“The film was made with the same amount of love that people have for it,” said director David Mickey Evans during the interview (h/t Entertainment Weekly’s Mary Kate Carr). “It was the greatest summer of our lives.”

The fact that the Milwaukee Brewers recreated a scene from The Sandlot during spring training and are holding a Sandlot-themed promotional night in August is a testament to the movie’s continued longevity.
